here comes another bondage afternoon for french girl Noémie … let’s try shibari using the metal cage !

I wanted to test bondage on the cage since a long time, initially, I imagined a similar position with another girl bound on the floor but, that day, Noémie was alone and I decided to try it anyway. I decided to dress my model with a nylon pantyhose, adding a blouse and the pvc corset I bought to Lea two years ago. Of course, we got a problem with the pantyhose when we started the set and I decided to continue with the damaged leg. I bet nylon lovers will love that detail :-p My friend Fred L. was there to assist me and took the camera when I was busy with the ropes. He had to manage my Nikon D300 for the first time and be sure we spoke a lot about that camera during the session. Indeed, I was always testing some tips to fix average result in the dark tones : at least, I didn’t get too dark pictures that day but I had others surprises. I will stop to complain about Nikon, you don’t care about it and I begin to find the right way to manage these strange things … one day, the “new” word will mean “better” : impossible in this world dominated by marketing rules and the need to sell you another item within the near future. Back to the session : I built an interesting rope work on the cage but that was definately static : Noémie had some problems to seduce my camera without moving then I decided to end the shibari time adding another part in the serie. Like a lot of girls visiting my studio, Noémie had never been encaged before … she wasn’t anxious about being locked in the cage. I asked her to take her clothes off and we ended the session with some shots featuring Noémie sleeping inside the cage … what a good idea for having a good night !

that day, we associated beauty and pain. the beauty of nylon pantyhose with the pain of strict bondage… so uncomfortable for Mina’s right foot and ankle !

October 2007 … France was under the strike rules again and Anaïs was unable to join us for shooting. So, I had to manage another session alone, sharing my time between the ropes and the camera. And, as I do regularly, I built a complicated ropework trying to find some new ways to play with my bondage chair. My idea was based on joints torture : I started few weeks before to explore this method with Anaïs (remember the strict shibari finger’s session). Today, I wanted to work on Mina’s fingers but also with arms and legs. that’s the reason why I began immobilizing her right leg, the position was really strict and she was unable to move it anymore. I did it to maintain her ankle in a painful position, increased by the arched foot in the shoe. When this first step has been finished, I worked on the other leg before to tie her arms and fingers. I don’t have a lot of things to write about the session : Mina managed the pain and tried to play with the camera which is not easy when you are unable to move. As usual, she really enjoyed the nipple clamps (ironic) and I even ball-gagged her in the end… for sure, she would have been unable to escape from that bondage position without my help. that’s how I love bondage : playful but strict and unescapable.

Stiletto high heels shoes and lovely nylon pantyhose… Dana’s legs are ready to be tied with nylon ropes… what about her arms ? back in February 2005… I know, this is so far away from us. Once again, I had one small good unpublished set in my hard drive. We did this session like a test. We started the day by giving a bondage lesson to Alain, I wanted to give him some tips practicing with Dana. After what, we tested a new lighting system using umbrellas. At this time, I was using my Nikon D70 with basic lens and the result was average due to automatic settings. Mainly, the pictures were too dark and not enough sharp. That’s the reason why I regularly delayed to edit this set… Finally, I used my actual photoshop knowledge to make something pleasant to watch and I hope you’d love to see Dana bound on the brown chair, all new at this time, used a lot in last two years :)
